Usage instructions:

Go to your ‘Appearance > Widgets’ panel and you will notice a new set of options in the Subscription Options widget.

Enter the following new details as desired:

LinkedIn Profile URL & Colour

Flickr Page URL & Colour

Google+ URL & Colour

Podcasting Service URL & Colour

YouTube Channel URL & Colour

Pinterest Page URL & Colour

Spotify Playlist URL & Colour

– Please note that you don’t need to use all the icons, just don’t enter a URL if you don’t want an icon to show up.
– Please also note that you can use any HTML colour code, be it HEX code or HTML Color Name.

Hit ‘Done’ then ‘Save Changes’. Test the appearance and perhaps change the size of the icons as necessary.

The Upgraded Widget Options Panel*:

*Not pictured above are the standard four icons, which would usually fill positions between the Title & LinkedIn options.

V 0.1 – first version with options for four new services.
V0.2 – new icons – as promised!

Future Versions:

V0.3 – potential for even more icons, based on user feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I style the new icons in my own way?

Yes, you can. You can use your stylesheet.css or this widget’s internal stylesheet to override your theme’s default widget settings by using the following CSS classes:

img.suboptions-icon – All icons (useful for setting alignment or spacing)

img.linkedin-icon – Just the LinkedIn icon

img.flickr-icon – Just the Flickr icon

img.google-icon – Just the Google+ icon

img.podcast-icon – Just the Podcast icon

img.youtube-icon – Just the YouTube icon

img.pinterest-icon – Just the Pinterest icon

img.spotify-icon – Just the Spotify icon

img.tumblr-icon – Just the Tumblr icon

Please note that the icons’ sizes will still need to be set from within the widget admin panel. CSS doesn’t let you override that that.

Why don’t my icons have nice rounded corners any more?

The latest versions of the base plugin offer thousands of new colour options, using transparent icons and CSS3 rounded corners. As such, the widget looks best in modern CSS3-compatible web browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome or IE9. If you are not entirely comfortable with this, you can always roll back to an older version of the original plugin (but you won’t get the new icons showing up).
